I love this recipe!!! I made this for my kids the other day and their reaction was priceless. This reminded me of something called a Brigadeiro. They have this S’mores on that drew back memories!!! Check their website out and give it a try. http://www.brigadeiropalace.com. If anyone here has tried it share the experience!!

Actually microwaves preserve the foods molecular structure, since most things that cook in the microwave do so through steam, since the microwaves excite the water molecules. I’m not sure what psuedo-science website you get your information from, but Microwaves do in fact preserve the most nutrients during the cooking process versus any other method, and since it does the job so quickly there isn’t a chance for many of the molecular changes that come in normal cooking, such as the Maillard process or caramelization, until you keep it in for too long.

Actually, while microwaving has been overly vilified (I met someone who thought that microwaving water to heat it up was unhealthy somehow), microwaving food actually does reduce nutrient content. I forget how it compares to roasting, sauteing, and frying, but steaming actually preserves the majority of nutrients, while microwaving cuts it to like 50%. Vitamin C, especially, is destroyed with a few minutes of heat, so say goodbye to it when you bake that potato.

That being said, I don’t look to chocolate chip cookies for my nutrients. They look delicious, but how is the texture?

The negative affects, I mean there’s a reason the Soviet banned then once. By using a microwave, you might as well nuclear waste on your food. The only thing useful about a microwave is it sterilizes kitchen cloths rather well…

I had a craving for something sweet at 1:30 AM and thought I’d give this recipe a try. VERY GOOD! I had no eggs, so I substituted it with 2 tbsp of this cornstarch mix (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water). Turned out yummylicious!!!

as a former cookie and bread addict, with a gluten allergy, i have to say: this is simply genius! i love it… had this been around when i was a kid i would have been making microwave cookies for one all the time!

Shelly, I substituted baking powder with baking soda to great success with this recipe. You need to keep in mind that you have to double or triple the amount of baking powder to compensate but it’s a perfectly reasonable substitute and should work fine. Good luck, and have fun cooking!

My mom and I tried this and didn’t love it. It had a texture somewhere between a cake and a scone except along the bottom – it was more cookie-like there. We did put it in for an extra fifteen seconds because it didn’t seem done the first time. If you don’t think of it as a cookie it may be better.

https://www.facebook.com/TheTexasFoodNetwork Here is a site/page that you can post recipes, or cooking information. If you have time to post some on my Facebook page it could help you get your recipes out to more people if you are interested? I have created this to help people of all skill levels in cooking. I hope you have the time to post a few of your recipes here.

I just made this, and I actually LOVE the cakey texture rather than a dense cookie texture. This recipe is my favorite because all the other ” mug cookies ” I’ve tried have had a dense, eggy texture that wasn’t very pleasant. But I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE this one. And it’s actually very good without chocolate chips.

Oh, and p.s. – I don’t cook it all the way because I feel it continues to cook after you take it out. But that’s just me! (:

I did this today, but it did not turn out like the way it does in the picture. Mine came out all dry and hard. When I was mixing the ingredients, the dough does not look all smooth and creamy either. It was doughy and crumbly. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?
